On Thursday, Selena Gomez dropped her first new single since October 2017, a song called "Back To You" that is part of the 13 Reasons Why season 2 soundtrack. The song, an acoustic guitar-laden, mid-tempo ballad, describes the feeling of wanting someone you shouldn't be with. And fans are already calling it a bop.

Though the song is for 13 Reasons Why, Selena shared in a new interview with Zane Lowe that it was more of a personal project than the song she recorded for season 1, "Only You." She said, "The first song I did for 13 Reasons Why that actually was specifically for the show. And with this song it's a very special record. I want it to be a beautiful message in a really complicated way but really fun. But I think that 'Back To You' is more of my special project that I wanted to give to Season 2."

Those words, of course, fan the flames for Selena stans who think the song could be about former on-and-off boyfriend Justin Bieber. The song's lyrics include, "If I could do it all again / I know I'd go back to you" and, "What's the point of hiding? / Everybody knows we've got unfinished business." Sources claimed on May 9 that Selena had chosen to end things with Justin once and for all. An unnamed source apparently told Us Weekly, “Selena started seeing the bigger picture when it came to their relationship, like what was more important: her general happiness and her family and friends approval, or her being together with Justin, where no one really supported their relationship."

But fans are mainly just excited to have new music from the singer. One wrote, "The new Selena Gomez song is a JAM." Others are even more excited for what is to come: "I love this song SO much and I can‘t wait for what‘s next," one tweeted.

Selena also told Beats 1 that she's finishing up her forthcoming album, and that music videos will be involved: "I have visuals for what I picture the songs to be and I'm excited," she said. "I am finishing up the album but we're also trying to figure out a fun way to take our time. There's no date there's no idea for it but I have a lot of music that I've collectively put away."
